            Bug ID: 29135
           Summary: nm: add --no-weak
           Product: binutils
           Version: unspecified
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: binutils
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: i at maskray dot me
  Target Milestone: ---

Since 2018-07 (https://reviews.llvm.org/D48751),
https://llvm.org/docs/CommandGuide/llvm-nm.html supports --no-weak for listing
non-weak symbols. The short option -W is added as an alias. I think the option
is mildly useful and perhaps binutils can consider adding it as well.

llvm-nm aims for being compatible with GNU nm, so taking -W without asking for
binutils opinions was not great. (Due to the recent -U conflict, llvm-nm folks
should be more aware of using short options and will handle such issues
better.)
